One of the most horrifying films to date

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2007)

When you wake up alone, you feel the sensation of fear. But when you step outside to find your city trashed with no one around except for flesh eating monsters. You begin to feel terror.
"28 Days Later.." is the story of Jim (Cillian Murphy). A man who wakes up from his coma 28 days after a terrible virus was accidentally unleashed on Great Britain. The virus is very contagious and just the slightest bit of infected blood can infect you and within 10 seconds after the blood is in your body, you lose control. The virus enhances rage and all the infected are in a permanent state of rage running at incredible speeds after anyone they see.
Jim wakes up to find the streets of Britain deserted and it wasn't till he was chased down the streets by infected that he realized what had happened. Jim then meets Selena (Naomie Harris), a survivor who helps Jim to safety. Then, Jim and Selena come across Frank (Brendan Gleeson) and his daughter, Hannah (Megan Burns). Frank says that he has been listening to his little radio constantly since the outbreak and reports of the virus having spread to Paris and NY. Frank also says he has heard broadcasted ads that the military are taking in all non-infected people and that meeting them at a certain point will ensure their safety.
The rest of the film chronicles the group's travels to the military base and what happens there after. The film's main moral comes into perspective towards the end of the film where safety isn't always what you think and how in desperate situations like this, humans will do anything to satisfy themselves.
Not very scary, but very horrific makes "28 Days Later..." one of the best horrifying films to date. With outstanding acting and twists and turns along the way. It is not a phony horror movie like "The Ring" or "The Grudge" but rather a full speed, high adrenaline horror film that always keeps you interested and never bores. "28 Days Later..." is a must see.
